Chapter 13 – Don’t You Know…? You Can Never Escape From The Swimsuit Event…!!
The cheers of girls entered my ears. Pure white skin repels the water, shrill voices echoing throughout the place, and peach-skinned girls are making merry around.
Splashes of water come from the girls who gathered in the pool. They are happily playing around and pushing their soft bodies against each other.
“Kya!”
“Mou, you have done it!!”
Occasionally, their shoulders touched against the other’s, making the pair of friends who weren’t conscious of each other become aware of each other.
“Ah, s-sorry…”
“N-no… me too… sorry…”
Oh, God of Yuri, so this is Eden…
Right now, for giving me a glimpse of such a wonderful heavenly sight, I am very grateful for being your devout believer.
“…”
That is if I wasn’t in the center of that crucible!! (Sudden change)
Skin, skin, skin!!
I am currently surrounded by those peach-skin tones. Under the faint light, I was standing in the center of the shining pool.
Now, Queen’s Watch has safely passed through the dimension gate and entered the Other World.
The Other World– Starmine.
This cave, which has a total length of about 600 km, is a sea cave that is half submerged in the Other World sea called 『Ranova Sea』. Thanks to the sunlight illuminating through the entrance of the cave and holes in the ceiling, the seawater in the cave is dyed a deep blue color. Crystals called 『Star Crystals』 are also lined up on the walls and ceiling, shining in seven colors. Regularly, fragments of those star crystals break due to corrosion and scatter in the air while shining when they contact the magic power in the air.
Inside this dimly lit cave, every time a fragment of star crystal falls and illuminates the surface of water, a romantic sight is spread. And the pool in the cruise was also lit up by the fragments of the star crystal. The pool was like a luxurious night pool… so, many Ojou-sama were rushing in to not miss that opportunity.
Needless to say, me, who was an honorary Yurite, tried to escape from the pool dynamically while thinking 『I can’t stay here!!』, but ended up swept away by the human waves, which led me to this situation (Hiiro-kun’s devastating defeat series).
“…”
Things going smoothly until I sent Hizumi to the medical office and trying to justify myself by saying, 『I want to protect her!! I want to escape from the pool!!』. However, Sensei answered it with, 『I don’t understand what you mean. Besides, we have security staff here, so you aren’t needed. Also, you can remove your gips, so go have fun.』, and even if I cryingly complained while making a gesture as if I am going to give her banknotes, she ignored me, so there was nothing I could do about it.
“…”
Suddenly, perhaps requested by someone, a sweet love song was heard from a huge speaker, making the pool look exactly like a big scale mixer!!
Then, as the staff and A-san handed out tropical juices on the silver tray, I was wrapped in the softness of women’s bodies.
“…”
“Sorry, Hiiro-kun.”
Tsukiori, who wore a white bikini and a transparent pareo around her waist, sticking her body to my chest.
“I can’t move because it’s too cramped.”
Grinning, she happily put her ear to my chest.
“Hiiro-kun’s heart sure is energetic.”
“…”
“I am very sorry, Onii-sama.”
Rei in her black bikini smiled while hugging my left arm.
“I can’t move even one step.”
She sticks her body to me from top to bottom to the extent it made me think that she wanted to fuse with me (not in H sense), and if this keeps going, the Sanjou Family’s fusion monster is likely to come onto the field (definitely not in the H sense).
“…”
Meanwhile, Lapis, who was silent with her face down from a while ago, stuck her body to my back. It seems every time someone pushes her, she tries her best to not get pushed further toward my body, but she fails because she slipped on the pool’s floor. That led to the frill of the swimsuit she is wearing touching and separating from my back numerous times. And every time that happens, Lapis shyly whispers, “S-sorry…”.
“…”
I looked up to the sky with dead-like eyes.
There is a saying ‘when you look up, you will know how precious it is’… but, when I look up, I can only see despair… where can I look up to reach that preciousness… Originally, the one standing here should be Tsukiori… or rather, the boy inside me might be out of control soon…
White engulfed in the softness of the three, I shed tears from the corners of my eyes.
Help… help… (appeal).
Suddenly, in front of me, who was asking for salvation while crying, a swimming ring came.
“Ara.”
Ophelia in a flashy swimsuit and expensive-looking sunglasses gracefully entrusts her whole body in a swimming ring while drinking tropical juice.
“Tsukiori Sakura and her followers…are also a slave. What are you doing in this kind of–”
“Ojou, take me somewhere!!”
“Eh?”
"
"
Crying, I extended my hand toward Ojou.
“Please let me ride that ship too!! I beg you!! I-I have to go beyond that horizon!! I… I can’t allow myself to say 『It’s over』!! That’s why!! That’s why!!”
I screamed in tears.
“Please let me join your party!!”
“No. (ruthlessly)”
Hehe… I really can’t win against Ojou (rubbing under my nose).
Changing her mood, Ojou pointed to Tsukiori with the tip of a straw.
“Tsukiori Sakura!! Why did you flirt with a man in a place that attracts a lot of attention? It’s really poisonous to my eyes, you really are unbelievably idiotic, I’d like to see the face of your parents~! Sure enough, only men will want to get close to a commoner like you… am I right…?”
She flutters her feet with her best, making splashing sounds. Ojou, who tried to match her sight with Tsukiori while spinning around, then swings her straw while out of breath.
“Well… haa, haa… w-when it comes to my level? E-everyday… haa, haa…? Haa… marriage proposals from beautiful girls… haa, haa… had been piling up like a mounta–”
“Hiiro-kun’s pectoral muscles are wonderful…”
“M-muki1!! Listen to what people say properly!!”
She said muki!! (Ah, she really said it!)
While gasping for breath, the spinning Ojou shouted in all directions.
“I challenge you into a duel!!”
“Eh, me?”
A girl whom she didn’t know turned around to look at her.
“Eh, what, did you say that to me?”
After that, another unfamiliar girl turned around.
“Hmm, me? A duel with me? What do you mean?”
Ojou, who was trapped into a four-sided question in just one sentence, groaned “Ugh…”, while looking around restlessly.
“T-Tsukiori Sakura…!!”
Oh, is she going to say it…? (Gulp)
“I will remember this!!!”
UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! (Ojou’s fan standing)
Desperately fluttering both hands and feet, Ojou ran away with a bright red face.
As expected of a professional underdog, she is in a different league… She has a sense of stability… really an outstanding talent… she even ran after saying her defeat declaration even though the MC ignored her… definitely not something that I can do… No, not only me… Ojou is the only one who can do that… (passionately talking)
Oops, it’s not the time to be healed by Ojou underdog-ness.
I have to do something about this situation… I guess I should escape by saying I wanted to check Hizumi’s condition…
“R-Rei?”
“Yes?”
The young lady of the Sanjou Family, who was hugging my arm while snuggling her face as if she wanted to be spoiled, blinked.
“Hi–”
“No.”
Is this girl a speed attacker…?
“If you are going to see Hizumi-san, of course, I will go with you. Onii-sama’s injuries are about to be healed, and I’m worried if Onii-sama goes alone.”
"
"
Does this girl have a future prediction ability or something…?
“T-then, shall we go together? Is that okay? So, can you take off your arm and hug Tsukiori for a while? (Underhanded incitement)”
“I want to be pampered by Onii-sama more than Sakura-san. So, no~”
Stop with that 『No~』, tsk, you are so damn cute… wait, Sakura-san…?
I covered my mouth with my hand.
Eh… p-perhaps, perhaps…? These two are already dating…? But they can only communicate by sandwiching me because it’s embarrassing…?2
Shivering, I reached that possibility.
Come to think of it, before I went to bar with Hizumi, didn’t Lapis call Tsukiori with 『Sakura』…? Eh, p-perhaps, these three are already dating…? T-they’re definitely dating… Did I finally win…?3
With that, I grinned.
Yup, I won (Positive thinking).
“Then, I’m going to see Hizumi! So go get along happily!”
I started trying to move away from the three, walked while feeling the softness on my body, and when I stopped, the three clung to me again.
“C-can I ask why did you guys follow me…? (Half-snapped)”
“Because Hiiro-kun moved.”
“Because Onii-sama moved.”
“Because Hiiro moved.”
Then should I just die? (Half-snapped)
I then calmly think about how to escape from the current situation.
It would be difficult to deceive Tsukiori and the two… so, I guess I should tell them a fact.
“In this crowded pool, there is no way we will be able to get out if we move with four people, right? You can follow me, but let’s get out of the pool one by one, okay?”
“Well, that’s true.”
“That’s right, let’s get out one by one.”
“Un, understood.”
Kukuku… you stupid girls…!! I am hiding Kuki Masamune on the poolside… the moment I get out, I’ll activate Tenebrae and leave you girls in haste…! You three can flirt with each other…!
“Yosh, then, let’s split–”
“Sanjou Hiiro!”
Hearing that, I raised my face vigorously.
Hizumi, who wore a skirt-type swimsuit, raised one hand to me and stepped into the pool.
“Since I heard you guys are talking about pool, I thought you would be here–”
